Um, that's probably because you're not using a "real" BB creme. Sorry to sound elitist and persnickety (which probably a lot of people who use Asian BB cremes do, but it's true), but what "real" BB cremes are are completely different than what the western market has manufactured (psst: a tinted moisturizer).
I use Missha BB cremes and it: 1) is super thick and covering 2) dries kind of slowly (which is annoying) but makes your skin look close to flawless after it sets, and 3) is not watery and runny at all.
Also, I'm not really sure what visible results you expected to see after 3 uses? What kind of effects do you see from beauty products in general after 3 uses? This isn't Crest Whitestrips.

I love the Missha. At first I was terrified because you're right it does initially go on very gray and doesn't look like it matches your skin at all, but after a few minutes it sets in and looks airbrushed. I love it. My only issue is that by mid day it tends to make me a little oily in my T zone (and I don't usually have oily skin) - but nothing some quick power or a blotting paper can't fix!

Thank you EVERYONE for your responses! I think I'm gonna have to order some Missha soon!
I've actually had several products that give me visible results after 3 uses, after all, to me that's the point of most of my sample subs... if something makes a visible, positive difference, I'm much more likely to buy a full size. The Josie Maran Argan Oil (Ipsy/Jan), Laura Mercier Face Polish (It Kit/Dec), and Juice Beauty Moisturizer (Citrus Lane/Nov) are all products that gave me visible, measurable results after 3 uses or less. I wasn't expecting a miracle, but a basic "hey, my skin feels kind of better even after washing this stuff off" is what I'm looking for, and didn't get with the UD BB. And if that makes me elitist and persnickety as well, so be it!
Thanks for letting me know about the gray fading, I probably would have put it on, seen the gray, and went NOPE, wash it off! I don't have really red skin (although I practically glow when I blush!), so hopefully I'll be able to get away with just the BB Cream
Sweet! Thanks! Now I'm stoked to try it!
You're right, I'm a relative newbie to "upscale" makeup, so I wouldn't know a "real" BB cream if my life depended on it. Hopefully, it never comes to that.

Me too, although now I REALLY want to try Missha. But the Maybelline is nice. My biggest complaint with others that I've tried (Garnier, Dr Jarts, and Boscia) is that my face felt so oily and gross-shiny. Maybelline isn't like that at all.

I have used products that I had noticed a difference the next day. It wasn't Crest Whitestrips either. With them I noticed no difference! lolOriginally Posted by magicalmom /img/forum/go_quote.gif

http://misshaus.com <-- official product site
You can try subscribing to their ML but it took me 4 tries to actually get anything from them. They occassionally will have awesome sales with like 40-50% off their products.

1) Finally resubscribing to Ipsy/ MyGlam- I cancelled pretty much right before the bags started getting awesome (of course). Anyone have any idea how long the wait list is/ what my chances of getting a February bag look like?
2) BB Cream- I LOVE the L'oreal Youth Code bb cream. It is a lot thicker than the other American bb's I've tried, and it has actually improved my skin- I've had less breakouts for sure since I've started using it. It's great on it's own for light/ medium coverage, but it also works really well as a primer. Just my two cents!

me too! I wear Mary-Lou Manizer every day as a highlighter and as an eyeshadow with Matt Batali in the crease. I already bought a full size Mary-Lou Manizer and I'm going to have to get the Meet Matt(e) palette because that color is my HG crease color.
More The Balm please!!!

From what I've read, Missha has more colour options, but if you're pale, then it shouldn't really matter. Asian BB cremes are supposed oxidize to suit your skin tone, so they don't have to match 100% percent.
You can purchase SKIN79 online here: http://www.skin79northamerica.com/catalogue I'm not sure what their shipping options are, but Missha is FS at $40 + GWP

I love that as a crease color too. It scared me at first because I was worried it would be too dark, but it's just the right amount of pigment to make a surprisingly natural looking crease that you can darken with another pass for a dramatic effect as well. I picked up the palette when they did the half off promo, but I keep going for that color in it anyway.
I'm glad to see mattes on trend; I think it's great to pair them with shimmers for a fuller look, and these Balm mattes have been especially great.

One more February-oriented thing I would live to see: something cherry blossom-y!

Has anyone who usually has allergies to make up tried the hypoallergenic missha BB cream? I'm tempted, but I usually don't use any kind of foundation or anything since I tend to be allergic and because my skin is very clear and even usually. It would be nice to have something for the rare days when it isn't, but I'm worried about shelling out so much money for something that might give me a rash.
